pretzels

They say life is like a bowl of chocolates. I'd say it's more like a bag of pretzels. 100 calorie pretzels, that is.

I sat down and considered my life in detail the other day.

-have you ever done that? Reflection saves lives.

I asked myself why sometimes I'm happy and other times I'm sad.

-if it was a simple choice, no one would ever be sad.

I found that my best moments have followed my worst moments.

-without pain, there's no appreciation

I found that my worst moments were due to bad choices.

-feelings lie

I concluded that the only way to happiness is through hard work.

-at least with hard work, you choose your pain.

Take a close look at the 100 calorie pretzel bag. What do you see?

Unappetizing, but nutritious. 100 calorie pretzels tell us that the bland, unpleasant, and yucky stuff in life is not only healthy, but necessary for happiness.
